The RouteWatch service offers a complete diagnostics package providing clients with both a Web based interface to analyze results and also comprehensive project management support. This service utilizes a computer-based data-mining software application that helps identify as well as validate key savings opportunities for the wireless provider in an effort to lower their network variable expenses. The RouteWatch application collects and analyzes the Call Detail Records (CDRs) from the wireless carrier and creates key reports which allow a carrier to effectively fine-tune the routing of its long distance calls. The RouteWatch solution has been implemented within the wireless industry for over two years and has been instrumental in assisting carriers in managing and reducing their variable expenses.

"WFI is committed to providing cost effective network management solutions to our customers," said Eric DeMarco, President and CEO of WFI. "RouteWatch is an important new element of the WFI service offering that we believe can provide our customers with significant cost savings. We are hopeful that other carriers will soon come to understand and appreciate the benefits of the RouteWatch solution."
